CROSMAN 1088 Black kit

Not Available

Includes 1088 pistol, 3 CO2 cartridges, 4 clips, 3 paper targets, hard pistol case and a tin of 250 pellets. Shoot 8 shots...BBs or pellets...as fast as you can pull the trigger! The Crosman 1088 CO2 pistol is versatile, because you can shoot whichever type of ammo you have on hand! Pellets or BBs...this pistol likes both of them. Fill the clip with 8 pellets or BBs, and you're ready to rock and roll. The 12-gram CO2 cartridge will deliver lots of shots before you need to change it.

The frame is made of a durable synthetic, and the barrel is rifled steel. Texture on the ambidextrous grip gives you a firm grasp on the gun. It comes with open sights (windage-adjustable rear) and an accessory rail. The gun shoots either single- or double-action.

Whether you shoot for fun or want to improve your target shooting skills, this pistol is up to it. Remember to get lots of extra ammo and CO2 packs, 'cause you're gonna shoot a lot! Never shoot BBs at metal objects or targets!

Things I would have changed: The sights are poor. Trigger action is long.

What others should know: Buy a red dot sight for this and at least one extra set of rotors. Also, forget the BBs. Pellets are powerful and incredibly accurate. You get about 75 shots per CO2. Buy Crosman pellets or Daisy pointed rounds. Others fit the rotor loosely and fall out causing it to jam.

Things I would have changed: The sights are horrible, only a windage adjustment (assuming you can find out what type of head the microscopic set screws have). There aren't any scope rails to mount a scope although Crosman does sell a trigger mounted laser.

What others should know: Out of the box this gun sounded like it was falling apart inside, rattled badly when turned over. Curiosity got the better of me and I took it apart. I found that in front of the co2 cartridge, they put a 3" metal bar inside the handle area. There was no glue or silicone holding this in place, it just sits in a hollow slot. I siliconed it in place and cured that noise.
Overall, for $63 it's fun to shoot.

Things I liked: This was my first CO2 pistol of six that I own and the 1088 remains one of my favorites. It's light but powerful. I like the option of single action and double action. I put the deluxe tactical laser on mine and it's very accurate.

Things I would have changed: Nothing

What others should know: When your're holding it, it feels like your're holding a toy gun, but this is by no means a toy. Very powerful, accurate and a good value for your money.
